Introduction: Diy 5 Minute Earrings
Hi!
For this instructable, I will show you how I make great earrings with just a few supplies and within a few minutes:)
You can make so many different looks by changing the lengths, metal variations/, adding to the amount used, alternating choice of metals (ie; gold& silver) or the style of chain used. The possibilities are endless! These are also a good way to use up any left over scraps of chain from other projects.
Supplies
- Earring hooks (2)
- Jump Rings (2)
- Chain of your choice (I'm using gold for these today see pic)
- Pliers (2)
- Wire Cutters/snips (1)
- Ruler/tape measure (1)
Step 1: STEP 1: Measure Your Chain:)
So the first thing to do is measure and cut all the chain needed for the project,
we will need 5 pcs for each earring,
measure and cut the following amount lengths:
- 1.5 inch (x4)
- 2 inch (x4)
- 3 inch (×2)
Step 2: Add the Chain Onto the Jump Ring
Next, take the open jump ring and add the pieces of chain in the following order:
- 1.5 inch
- 2 inch
- 3 inch
- 2 inch
- 1.5 inch
Step 3: Add the Earhook & Close the Jump Ring:)
So the final step is to add the earring hook and close the jump ring,
Using the 2 pairs of pliers, grab the ring on both ends and pull them toward eachother to close the
jump ring and complete the earring.
Step 4: Finishing Up
So that’s it! We are done, now you can look at your work, and correct anything that needs correcting. If you have a chain that’s a little longer you can trim it, make sure that your jump ring is closed completely, and admire your work:)
Step 5: Additional
I have added a pic of some of variations that I spoke about in the intro. I hope you have as much fun creating these earrings as I do. Maybe try adding some charms or beads to them:) Please feel free to upload your creations, I would love to see what you come up with ♡ Thank you for your time;)
